Need to change login manager for FC4

dotancohen · 01-22-2006, 10:51 AM

I am running TightVNC on my FC4 machine. When I log in remotly, I am presented with one of the 'light' windows managers. I want it to present me with KDE. Some archive digging led me to the command "switchdesk kde" however, when I logged out and back in, I still had that lightweight manager. So I dug some more and found that I need to modify /etc/sysconfig/desktop. So I changed it to:
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE

But I _still_ get logged into that same manager! How to proceed? Thanks.

create a file in the user's directory called .xsession and put there the exec for lauching KDE (startxkde if I remember good), then, from the login manager, choose "Default" option to log in.

Thanks. After some more googleing I came across the fact that in ~/.vnc/xstartup th line:
twm &
should be changed to:
startkde &

Thanks, anyway.
